Impact Wrestling starts and we see a video package about last week’s promo from Kurt Angle. He was in the ring as he talks about the whole Jeff Jarrett and Karen Jarrett situation. He said Dixie was right in the middle of it. Kurt now has an alliance with Hogan as he will take out each young person out in TNA. As long as Kurt is champion, Dixie will NEVER get her company back.

The video ends and the camera shows the Impact Zone. Sting’s music hits and here comes The Icon! He gets on stage and the whole crowd is going crazy. He stands on stage and raises his bat in the air to get a bigger reaction. Just then, out of nowhere, he gets knocked down. He flips and flops on the ramp. He gets up and he grabs his face and starts punching himself. He attacks himself all the way to the ring. He gets in and grabs a mic.

The first thing he states was that shows he truly lost his mind. That was what happened to him last week. How does he know? He watched it over and over. He said the attack was so hard hitting, he still can’t talk right. He then says it was great getting attacked by the greatest of all-time, Hulk Hogan. Make no mistake about it, Hogan still has the eye of the tiger. Hogan and his arms kicked in. Sting then asks the fans if they want to see Hogan back in the ring. Sting says he is dying to see it. He almost died last week, in fact! He says that we should start a Hogan chant because he wants him in the ring tonight. The crowd starts to get wild. Just then, music hits and it’s not Hogan’s! It’s Ric Flair! Sting is pretty stunned. Ric walks slowly down the ramp. He walks up the steps and gets in the ring. Ric then bounces off the ropes as he has a mic in his hand.

He asks Sting if he said if he said Hogan was the best of all-time?!. He says he will get to that later. He calls Sting The Icon. He says he gets asked when he will be facing Sting again. He said why do I…..I faced him dozens of times. Ric starts to flip out because he knows Sting will say “let’s do it”. Ric wants to finish. Ric calls Sting healthy, strong as a bull, and an icon in this company and business. Ric says to get where he wants to be, he has to wrestle Sting again. He didn’t say beat him, he just wants to face him. Honestly, he is tired of hearing the name Sting everywhere he goes. He then states that if Sting looses to Ric, Sting will have to retire! He doesn’t want any phony retirements either. If Ric looses, then he will give Hogan right to Sting. He will give Sting what he wants. Sting gets real close to Ric’s face and says he wants to ask the people. He asks them what they think and the crowd pops. Sting says Ric smells like garlic, but he accepts the offer. Ric does his “Wooooo” and Sting does it too. They start exchanges air punches as the crowd goes crazy. Ric leaves the ring.

My Thoughts:

This week’s Impact Wrestling certainly had some interesting stuff. Well, that’s what I thought. The first interesting piece was actually seeing Ric Flair back. I do not read the spoilers for Impact Wrestling as I like to go into the show fresh, so seeing Ric was surprising. When I saw Ric walking down the ramp, all I thought was the final match of WCW as it was Sting vs. Ric Flair. I never seen the match as it aired on TV, but watched in online. While it was not the best one, it was certainly good. Ric got in the ring and when he said he wanted another match with Sting, I then thought of the final WCW match yet again. I didn’t think it would be an actual match between them tonight as I would have heard at least something. It was nice seeing them face to face in the ring though. To quote Michael Cole, the segment was “vintage”! After that, Ric went into Hogan’s office. That was a pleasant surprise. Even though Hogan was furious, Ric just hugged him and hugged him again. The X-Division match was pretty good. It wasn’t surprising to see Austin Aries win as he really does deserve a title match. The knockout match was good. (Way above good if you compare to WWE’s diva matches.) AJ Styles vs. RVD was a good back and forth contest. You knew Jerry would be part of the match in some way. Great seeing them two go at it in a match though. Kurt Angle is going to face Crimson next week. While I doubt there will be an actual winner, it would be pretty interesting to see them to fight as I am growing as a Crimson fan. Finally, we saw new TNA Tag Team Champs. I thought Mexican America would win it at Hardcore Justice, but they didn’t. I was just a couple weeks off. Anyway, it was an interesting and pretty good show. It flowed nicely. Not only did TNA have veteran stars, you can see them clearly building young ones like Crimson, Mexican America, and Austin Aries. How will Hulk react to the situation with Sting and Ric? What will go down between Kurt and Crimson? We will find that out next week. If you want to hear more from me, follow me on Twitter and read all of my latest projects.
